David's Sing and Strum

David's 1st annual Spectacular Sing and Strum Birthday Bash 

Who
fans of handmade music

What
Bring an instrument and/or bring your voice.  We'll sit around and share songs.  The idea is similar to an old "hootenanny" where everyone would sit in a circle and play songs together.  I did this once with about 30 other guitar players and it was a blast.  


When :
1PM, Sunday June 27th


Where :
My House (call or email for the address and directions)


How
It would be helpful to bring a few copies of some of your favorite songs.  Simple sheets with the lyrics and chords would be great.  Although there aren't any genre restrictions, since we'll be entirely acoustic death metal and grunge would probably seem out of place.  The three genres I play the most are country, worship/praise, and folk.  The best songs for this setting are songs that would work around a campfire.

FAQ:
But I don't have any musical ability...
If you have an interest in music, come enjoy the handmade musical goodness.  If you have an instrument, bring it and maybe you can pick up a thing or two.

But I'm way better musically than most people.
Steal the show!

But I don't know any songs that anyone else would know.
Come and learn something, teach something.


But I don't know any songs at all.
Come learn some!  It'll be fun

Can I bring my...
YES:  Drum, harmonica, ukulele, talented friend, non-musical spouse 
NO:  Bagpipes, dogs (we have a little dog and yours would eat ours)

But wait, it's your birthday, shouldn't I bring a gift?
The music is the gift.  However, if you really feel like you need to give something feel free to either: a.) bring cans of food that will be donated to Sand Springs Community Services or b.) bring cash to donate to my mission trip that I'm planning to go on.

But my question was...
Send me a message and I'll add it to the list!
